Proteas Test captain Dean Elgar revealed that Dolphins top-order batsman Keegan Petersen is a candidate to fill Faf du Plessis's vacancy in the batting line-up. Elgar also said wicket-keeper Quinton de Kock would resume his lower middle-order batting duties. Proteas Test captain Dean Elgar revealed that Dolphins top-order batsman Keegan Petersen is in line to replace the retired Faf du Plessis for next month's two-Test series against the West Indies in St Lucia. Petersen, who was born in Paarl, was part of the Proteas' Test squad in Pakistan and took the field as a substitute and fielded at short leg. Elgar, though, was confident that De Kock would be able to do his job from his usual batting position without the pressures of captaincy.
